BRULOTTE: Truth before reconciliation — beyond the headlines of residential schools

BRULOTTE: Truth before reconciliation — beyond the headlines of residential schools

Canada marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with solemn ceremonies and renewed commitments to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) 94 Calls to Action. Residential schools caused documented harm. But the historical record is more complex: compulsory schooling was part of Canada’s broader movement toward universal education, and many former students described their residential school experiences positively and credited their education with improving their lives. Recognizing those experiences requires us to examine the full historical record and apply consistent standards of evidence.

Danny Tommo’s Judge And The Question Of Judicial Impartiality

Danny Tommo’s Judge And The Question Of Judicial Impartiality

Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, a British subject, has been refused bail after poking a small hole in the side of an abandoned invasion RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) in the English Channel using his penknife. Yet if the pro-borders advocate is guilty of anything, it is arguably of doing what the British Army, Navy, and Border Force have failed to do: defending English waters.

Britain’s security forces operate little more than a maritime taxi service for illegals, with HMC Vigilant collecting them at sea and whisking them off to free English hotels, breakfast included.

It was during one such encounter that Thomas’s legal predicament arose.

France’s establishment is struggling to stop Marine Le Pen

France’s establishment is struggling to stop Marine Le Pen

Astonishing news has arrived from France: Emmanuel Macron is dropping hints that he could run for a third term as president.

This can’t be in next year’s presidential election, because the French constitution forbids more than two consecutive terms. But he could run for a non-consecutive third term in 2032, when he’ll only be 54. It’s a sign that the French political establishment realizes it is losing the fight to stop Marine Le Pen from winning in 2027. In fact, the elites are beginning to bring Le Pen and her Right-populist National Rally (RN) party in from the cold.

A Trump adviser’s outburst and a new poll suggest Canada’s tariff strategy is landing

A Trump adviser’s outburst and a new poll suggest Canada’s tariff strategy is landing

WASHINGTON, D.C. — If Canada is betting that Trump’s tariff fight and Ottawa’s retaliation will exact political costs on U.S. President Donald Trump and Republicans in November’s midterms, it may be onto something: a senior Trump adviser just signalled that the White House sees the Canada-U.S. trade spat as politically sensitive.

Speaking at an economic conference in Washington on Tuesday, Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro had a few choice words for Canada. He likened the country to a rowboat and the U.S. to an aircraft carrier before asking whether any Canadians were in the room.

As Muslim Terror Attacks on NYC Synagogues Increase, Mamdani Claims Antisemitism a “Right-Wing Problem”

As Muslim Terror Attacks on NYC Synagogues Increase, Mamdani Claims Antisemitism a “Right-Wing Problem”

In what the media is hailing as some sort of stunning achievement, the Mamdani administration released an antisemitism policy. This booklet mostly consists of setting up various groups to hold meetings and some security funding for synagogues.

Of course security funding would be much less needed if Mamdani didn’t insist on allowing Muslim and Marxist hate rallies outside synagogues. That’s the equivalent of legalizing arson and then funding some smoke detectors.

Trump says ‘very bad’ Canada is being ‘taught a little lesson’ as trade action escalates

Trump says ‘very bad’ Canada is being ‘taught a little lesson’ as trade action escalates

U.S. President Donald Trump’s war of words with Canada continued Wednesday as he veered off a prepared script at an event marking Hispanic Heritage Month in the States to chastise Canadian leaders for being what he called “very bad.”

Speaking at the White House, Trump said the U.S. was “stupidly run” before he got the job because past leaders allowed automakers to move assembly plants offshore, including to Canada.

Stelco’s U.S. owner to face ‘fullest extent of the law’ over layoffs: PM Carney

Stelco’s U.S. owner to face ‘fullest extent of the law’ over layoffs: PM Carney

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s federal government will “use all powers that we have” against the U.S. owner of an Ontario steel plant that announced hundreds of layoffs on Monday.

Stelco, owned by Ohio-based Cleveland-Cliffs, directly linked its plan to cut up to 500 jobs in Hamilton with U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada.

The Trump administration imposed 50 per cent tariffs on foreign steel under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act last year. Canada has retaliated with duties on many U.S.-made steel products.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why Is Mark Carney Preparing for an American Invasion?

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal. I am going to mention Canada again. I know we’re getting tired of this subject because, after all, Canada is our closest ally, closest friend, the country that is most like the United States, or so we’ve been told. But [Prime Minister] Mark Carney is doing things that we have never seen or heard before in Canada.

RUBENSTEIN: The 100,000-page barrier to ‘Truth and Reconciliation’

According to the CBC, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), Canada’s largest, most influential, and best taxpayer-funded indigenous advocacy organization, has just claimed that it is still waiting for uncensored access to the government’s historic intelligence dossier about the AFN and its predecessor, the National Indian Brotherhood (NIB), six months after a CBC News investigation revealed the RCMP’s now-defunct spy agency infiltrated the groups in the 1970s.

10 Times Abdul El-Sayed Was Absolutely Wacked Out

10 Times Abdul El-Sayed Was Absolutely Wacked Out

On Monday, the Detroit Free Press endorsed Democrat Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan’s open Senate seat with the justification that it is his opponent, Mike Rogers, who is the real extremist.

“Everything you’ve heard about Michigan’s U.S. Senate race is true: An extremist is asking voters to send him to Washington, masking an agenda far out of step with Michigan’s mainstream under the pretense of normalcy. If elected, this man would urge America down a dark path, changing the shape of our nation, perhaps irrevocably,” said the Detroit Free Press. “But that man is not Abdul El-Sayed.”

Truth and Reconciliation Day is built on unproven claims and anti-Christian bigotry

Truth and Reconciliation Day is built on unproven claims and anti-Christian bigotry

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation has become a state-enforced hoax that targets Christianity. The full force of government messaging, media, and public institutions now blames the Christian faith for a uniquely evil crime. A set of unproven accusations has been used to justify hostility toward an entire religious community, resulting in vandalism and church arson. What does the evidence show?
